I recently found this video. It details how to set the basic CO settings of the KE Jetronic mechanical system.

This will give you a better understanding of KE Jetronic interface between the air and fuel mixture. It's a good read.

Sorry, I've been under the weather for the past few weeks. I'll hopefully be restarting my project late next week.

Wishing you a speedy recovery. I watched Dave's video and it is excellent. I had never seen these adjustments in a youtube video before. Definitely watch this video and check all those adjustments in your rebuild.
